Everything You Need to Know about Washing Your Makeup Brushes
Most of us wash our makeup brushes every few months – if at all. For a long time I was like that because the brushes were never quite the same after I washed them.

You May be Brushing Your Hair the Wrong Way
We’ve been brushing our hair all our lives…but have we been doing it the right way? Minimizing time spent getting ready is a goal we all have, but quickly brushing out the tangles is the bare minimum you can do for your locks.
Artis Makeup Brushes: A True Brush Innovation
Artis makeup brushes are true game chargers. They’re gorgeous, mirrored brushes with dense, lush, synthetic bristles designed specifically to resist wear, and these also have ergonomic handles; they kind of look like luxurious takes on toothbrushes.

When it comes to blush, too much of a good thing is downright garish. For perfect application, cream is a must.
